Recommerce, czyli sprzedaż produktów z drugiej ręki online, jest w Polsce coraz popularniejsza. Według badań już 61% badanych kiedykolwiek kupiło używany przedmiot przez internet. Niestety, w praktyce oznacza to także, że i na tym rynku możemy paść łupem przestępców: sposobów na wyciągnięcie z kupujących, ale także sprzedawców, pieniędzy oraz danych osobowych jest coraz więcej. Mogą być to niezweryfikowane linki do płatności czy wysyłanie produktów w stanie innym od opisywanego. Warto wiedzieć, jak zadbać o swoje interesy, bo droga do odzyskania utraconych środków może być długa, żmudna i…kosztowna. O tym, na co zwracać uwagę, kupując produkty używane online, opowiedziała w Drogowskazach Joanna Zdanowska, adwokat z kancelarii adwokackiej ZdanLegal.

So there I was, Tuesday afternoon, in the middle of working away — using Claude, which for those who don't know, is the AI tool I'm using extensively throughout my entire business at this point — and it just... stopped.   Completely.

Phillip and Brian get deep on a week when everything felt a little unhinged: Shopify's AI sidekick started building custom apps, Iran allegedly took out AWS data centers mid-Claude-outage, and the McDonald's CEO went mega-viral just days after Phillip prophesied it. Underneath the chaos, a throughline emerges: the things we've used to measure value (view counts, credit card rewards, third-party apps, and AI contracts) are quietly expiring. Culture is first. Then comes commerce. This SKU Is Delicious Key takeaways: Shopify Sidekick can now build one-off apps on demand, raising real questions about the future of third-party SaaS. AI geopolitics is here: data centers are now strategic infrastructure, and the "human in the loop" question has military stakes. Meta's move to invoicing ends years of free credit card rewards for brands running paid social,  — and that party's been winding down anyway. MrBeast's long-form view counts are down 50% YoY, even with heavy paid promotion; the algorithm has shifted to interest-based, not subscriber-based. Media buyers optimizing for CPMs are chasing non-real traffic. — Rrecovering a sense of propriety is the only way back.

In this third installment of Claude Sessions, Danny is joined by Subash from Not A Square, who helps e-commerce brands scaling past seven figures implement AI without scaling headcount. Subash walks through real client case studies -- including a TikTok brand that boosted its customer satisfaction score from 4.2 to 4.5 in four weeks using a customer support agent built in Claude. Danny then breaks down OpenClaw, the open-source personal AI agent that exploded in popularity, explains why he chose not to use it despite the temptation, and reveals Claude Flow -- his custom operating system built inside Claude Code with 11 engines, 300+ features, and a persistent memory layer powered by ChromaDB. The episode drives home one core message: document your operations first, pick one platform, go deep, and stop chasing every new tool. Key Topics Documenting operations before automation -- Why you cannot automate what is not documented TikTok customer support case study -- Building an AI agent that raised satisfaction scores in four weeks OpenClaw overview and security risks -- What it does, why it blew up, and why Danny built his own alternative Claude Flow -- Danny's custom operating system inside Claude Code with persistent memory The amnesia loop -- How context loss between sessions kills productivity and how ChromaDB solves it Pixel-less environment -- The shift from structured prompts to contextual AI interaction Go deep on one platform -- Why chasing multiple AI tools guarantees you build nothing Timestamps [00:00] Introduction -- Claude Sessions Week 3, delayed from the road [01:03] Subash introduces himself and Not A Square [02:01] Overview of three client projects and the problem founders face [04:30] Why operational truth is the moat in AI commerce [06:48] Three pillars: reduce costs, better governance, scale without headcount [07:30] TikTok case study -- customer support agent boosting store score from 4.2 to 4.5 [09:04] OpenClaw -- history, capabilities, and the security nightmare [15:30] Six core capabilities of OpenClaw (local-first, universal messaging, persistent memory, browser automation, system access, self-extending skills) [18:00] Why OpenClaw matters -- moving from dumb LLMs to personal AI agents [20:00] Security trade-offs -- 1.5M API keys exposed, malware in skills, Cisco tests [22:00] Claude Flow -- Danny's 11-engine operating system built inside Claude Code [24:26] The amnesia loop -- how sessions lose context and how ChromaDB fixes it [28:19] Why Claude MD, agents, and skills are not enough without hooks and triggers [32:40] Go deep on one platform -- stop chasing every new tool [35:35] Subash on helping sellers adopt Claude Code fundamentals (Claude MD, skills) [39:51] Wrap-up and contact info Key Takeaways Document before you automate -- If your business operations live in the founder's head and not on paper, any AI tool will amplify the chaos rather than fix it. Operational truth is the moat -- Clean inventory, accurate catalogs, honest cashflow reporting. Get these right before touching AI. One AI agent moved the needle -- A single customer support agent on TikTok raised a brand's satisfaction score from 4.2 to 4.5 in four weeks, directly improving store visibility. Persistent memory changes everything -- ChromaDB captures decisions, patterns, and project context across sessions so Claude compounds in usefulness over time (zero entries in session one, 1,700+ by session 25). Scaffolding beats raw building -- Danny's Claude Flow system means a project that took five days six months ago now takes 40 minutes. The investment in infrastructure pays exponential returns. OpenClaw is proof of concept, not production-ready -- Broad permissions, prompt injection vulnerabilities, exposed API keys. Wait for the open-source community to patch the holes before diving in. Pick one platform and go all the way in -- Chasing multiple AI tools means you learn none of them deeply and build nothing of value.

Jay Steinfeld is the Founder and former CEO of Blinds.com, the world's largest online retailer of window coverings, which was acquired by The Home Depot in 2014. Under his leadership, Blinds.com grew from a bootstrapped startup in his home to a billion-dollar enterprise, earning a reputation for innovation in ecommerce and technology-driven growth. Jay is also a Wall Street Journal best-selling author of Lead from the Core: The 4 Principles for Profit and Prosperity and the Entrepreneur in Residence at Rice University's Graduate School of Business, where he shares business insights.  In this episode… Scaling your ecommerce business doesn't always require more ad spend or tighter funnels — it can come from forming the right strategic partnerships. Rather than battling industry giants for market share, there's an opportunity to grow by leveraging their reach and infrastructure. How can you turn major players into powerful growth engines for your brand? Jay Steinfeld's answer is the Big Brother Little Brother strategy, a partnership model where a smaller company integrates with a larger one to accelerate growth. As a seasoned ecommerce founder and technology-driven operator, he explains how building product-agnostic software creates leverage far beyond a single category. By making integration seamless and delivering unique value that larger companies lacked, he reduced customer acquisition costs and unlocked rapid distribution. He also emphasizes creating "stickiness" through private-label strategies and focusing on asymmetric risk — low downside, massive upside. The key takeaway: identify what only you can offer and make it irresistible for larger partners to say yes. In this episode of Minds of Ecommerce, Raphael Paulin-Daigle chats with Jay Steinfeld, Founder and former CEO of Blinds.com, about the Big Brother Little Brother growth strategy. They delve into the brand's 90-day Sears integration, expanding partnerships to Wayfair and The Home Depot, and the risks of empowering competitors while creating long-term "stickiness."

When an online store hits a plateau, the question most founders ask is simple. What should I do next to grow sales? Should you spend more on ads? Should you focus on email marketing? Or is it time to expand your product range? The truth is, the right answer depends entirely on what is already happening inside your business. In this episode, I share three real examples from a recent mastermind coaching call where founders were all trying to solve the same problem, scaling their sales. But the strategy that made the most sense for each business was completely different. By stepping back and analysing where their sales were actually coming from, we were able to identify the most logical lever to pull next. If your store feels like it has hit a ceiling lately, this episode will help you step back, look at the numbers, and identify where the real growth opportunity may be sitting. In this episode, we cover: The three major growth levers available to most e-commerce businesses How to analyse where your sales are actually coming from Why different businesses require completely different scaling strategies Three real case studies from inside my mastermind How to identify the next lever that could unlock your growth Resources mentioned in this episode 90-Minute e-Commerce Scale Intensive https://www.jodieminto.com/ecomm-scale-intensive 7-Figure Scale Collective Mastermind https://www.jodieminto.com/mastermind Explore more podcast episodes https://www.jodieminto.com/podcast Enjoyed this episode?

Favour Obasi-ike, MBA, MS, provides a comprehensive guide to Search Engine Optimization (SEO) for small to mid-sized businesses (SMBs). The episode explores the critical differences in SEO strategies for product-based (E Commerce / E-Commerce) and service-based businesses (SEO Services), offering actionable insights for online growth.Favour emphasizes the foundational importance of a fast, reliable website for any business, highlighting how website performance directly impacts user experience and, consequently, SEO algorithm rankings.

A key theme throughout the episode is the concept of user intent, with Favour explaining how to target both commercial and informational keywords to attract customers at every stage of their journey. Finally, the episode underscores the long-term nature of SEO, stressing that consistency in content creation and optimization efforts is the ultimate key to sustainable online success. This podcast episode is a must-listen for any business owner looking to demystify SEO and implement effective strategies for lasting growth.Book SEO Services?

Website Performance is Paramount: A fast, reliable, and user-friendly website is the non-negotiable foundation for any successful SEO strategy, impacting everything from user engagement to search engine rankings.2. Tailor Your SEO Strategy: The optimal SEO approach differs significantly between product-based and service-based businesses. Product businesses should focus on visual optimization and structured data, while service businesses should prioritize content that builds authority and trust.3. Leverage Visuals for Product SEO: For e-commerce and product-focused businesses, high-quality, optimized images with descriptive alt text are crucial for attracting and converting customers who rely on visual information to make purchasing decisions.4. Build Authority with Content for Service SEO: Service-based businesses can establish themselves as industry leaders by consistently creating valuable, informative content (like blogs, case studies, and whitepapers) that addresses their target audience's needs and questions.5. Master User Intent: Understanding whether a user is looking to buy (commercial intent) or learn (informational intent) is key. A balanced content strategy that targets both types of keywords will capture a wider audience and nurture leads through the entire customer journey.6. Embrace Local SEO: For service businesses with a physical location or defined service area, optimizing for local search by managing a Google Business Profile and creating location-specific content is essential for attracting nearby customers.7. Consistency is the Long-Term Game: SEO is a marathon, not a sprint. Sustainable growth is achieved through consistent, long-term effort in content creation, technical optimization, and building a strong online presence, rather than expecting overnight success.Memorable Quotes[09:05] "As a service-based business or as a product-based business is your website. How fast is your website?"[35:09] "That's why we're in this room today because we want to know what is a commercial value?"[36:22] "You gotta be consistent, you gotta be putting out the content, you gotta do a lot of things."[37:01] "Long, long, long, long, long-term."Episode FAQs1. What is the most important first step in any SEO strategy?The most crucial first step is ensuring you have a fast, reliable, and mobile-friendly website. A poor-performing site will undermine all other SEO efforts.2. How does SEO for a product-based business differ from a service-based business?Product-based SEO heavily relies on high-quality images, structured data (schema markup) for product details, and e-commerce platform optimization. Service-based SEO focuses more on building authority through in-depth content, demonstrating expertise, and often includes a strong local SEO component.3. What is user intent and why is it important for SEO?User intent is the 'why' behind a search query. It can be informational (looking for information), commercial (intending to buy), transactional (ready to complete a purchase), or navigational (looking for a specific site). Understanding intent allows you to create content that directly addresses the user's needs, leading to higher engagement and better rankings.4. How long does it take to see results from SEO?SEO is a long-term strategy. While some minor results can be seen in a few months, significant, lasting results typically take six months to a year of consistent effort to achieve.5. What is the role of content in SEO for service-based businesses?For service-based businesses, content is the primary tool for building trust and demonstrating expertise. High-quality blog posts, articles, case studies, and guides attract potential clients, answer their questions, and position your business as a credible authority in your field.Episode Timestamps[00:00] Introduction: SEO for Product vs. Service Businesses[03:03] The Difference Between Product and Service-Based Businesses[08:56] The Importance of Website Speed and Reliability[10:01] SEO for Product-Based Businesses: Images and Structured Data[15:21] SEO for Service-Based Businesses: Content and Local SEO[34:10] Understanding User Intent: Commercial vs. Informational Keywords[36:07] The Importance of Consistency in SEOSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

7 in 10 people globally say they're hesitant to trust someone different from them, according to the 2026 Edelman Trust Barometer. Trust is getting more personal. So where does that leave brands? This week, Elena, Angela, and Rob explore what it really means to build a brand in a world where trust is earned through experience, not messaging. They dig into why the gap between marketing promises and reality is so damaging, how to bridge online and in-person brand moments, and what channels like TV do for brand trust that others simply can't.

Retailers talk about UX. They talk about conversion. But too many still ship digital experiences that a huge part of the population simply can't use.In this episode of the Wonderful Retail Podcast, Marion Ranvier (Executive Director, @Contentsquare Foundation) explains why digital accessibility is not a marginal issue—and why it directly affects conversion, retention, brand trust, and revenue.Marion breaks down:The real scale of accessibility needs (and why the web still fails users)What “inaccessible checkout” actually looks like in the real worldWhy accessibility gaps are often execution problems, not “awareness” problemsHow to build a credible 90-day accessibility plan (audit → training → prioritization → transparency)What businesses can measure today to connect accessibility to ROIWhy inclusive design often becomes “standard UX” for everyone (the TV remote control example)Where AI + inclusive user testing can move accessibility forward—if foundations are accessible firstIf you build or manage ecommerce experiences, this is the episode that forces a hard question:What revenue are you losing because users can't complete your journey?Guest: Marion Ranvier — Executive Director, Contentsquare FoundationTopic: Digital accessibility, ecommerce checkout, compliance, UX execution, ROI, AI + inclusive testing00:00 — Why inaccessible websites lose audiences for good00:23 — Welcome + why inclusion must be part of digital thinking01:19 — The question: why should retailers care about inclusivity?01:40 — Who Marion is + what the Contentsquare Foundation does02:06 — The scale: disability worldwide + “80% of the web” problem02:35 — Ecommerce example: when “Add to bag” becomes unusable03:08 — Research: inaccessible checkout flows + minimum requirements04:19 — Why the Foundation exists + Marion's dyslexia and motivation05:08 — Turning awareness into action: mission pillars (education/research/advocacy)06:34 — Research partnership + studying real behavior (not assumptions)07:36 — Findings: zoom 200%+, keyboard navigation, longer time-to-click08:37 — Business impact: bounce rate, time on site, basket value09:34 — European Accessibility Act + where to start if you're behind10:01 — A practical 90-day plan: audit, training, prioritization11:32 — The seriousness signal: publish an accessibility statement12:25 — The hardest question: proving accessibility ROI14:01 — Inclusive design wins for everyone (TV remote control)14:54 — The future: AI potential + why accessibility must be built in16:24 — Include disabled users in testing + AI personas and insights17:18 — Closing thanks

Two Dubai sellers reveal how they built seven-figure brands via duty-free, Amazon UAE, and quick commerce.

One through iconic local products and duty-free dominance, the other through acquiring and scaling an Amazon-first brand across markets. First up is Rami Rabia of Al Nassma Chocolates, a Dubai chocolate pioneer known for camel milk chocolate and giftable products. Rami breaks down the region's offline-heavy reality (with duty-free as a major growth engine), why COVID forced rapid channel diversification, and how Amazon UAE's cold-chain logistics solved the biggest hurdle in selling chocolate online: heat and product sensitivity. He also shares how he uses Helium 10 to track seasonal search behavior tied to Dubai's nonstop calendar of holidays and gifting moments, plus his interest in TikTok Shop once it launches locally. Then Aslam Yousuf, founder of S2C, explains how he acquired an Amazon UAE brand (instead of starting from scratch), scaled it beyond $1M, and used “quick commerce” via Noon to accelerate growth. He dives into the systems behind scaling in competitive categories—brand positioning, packaging upgrades, content overhauls, marketplace expansion (India and KSA), and a hard-earned logistics lesson from choosing the wrong shipping partner. The episode wraps with his view on Helium 10's impact and what it takes to build a regional winner that's ready for bigger markets.

What if the habits that helped you build success are now the very things holding you back? Today, I explain how your attitude toward money is shaped far more by your early experiences than by how much wealth you currently have—and why that matters as you grow. You'll learn how to identify outdated financial behaviors that once served you but may now be limiting your leadership, profitability, and long-term security. Listen in as I break down how to spot whether you're too risk-averse, too risk-tolerant, overspending in the name of growth, or under-investing out of fear. I also cover when scrappiness becomes a ceiling, why doing everything yourself slows scale, when thoughtful debt can be strategic, and how to shift from wealth-building to wealth-protection. This episode will challenge you to evolve your habits so your business and wealth can evolve with you.

Amazon may be testing a major review change, with some shoppers seeing only 10 reviews unless they apply for more. Amazon clarifies its multiple account policy. Plus, it's Episode 500 of the AM/PM Podcast! We're back with another episode of the Weekly Buzz with Helium 10's VP of Education and Strategy, Bradley Sutton. Every week, we cover the latest breaking news in the Amazon, TikTok Shop, Walmart, and E-commerce space, talk about Helium 10's newest features, and provide a training tip for the week for serious sellers of any level. In this episode, we're switching things up with a fresh new look, and it's the perfect time because this is Episode 500 of the AM/PM Podcast! Join us for a quick trip down memory lane as we celebrate nearly 10 years of the AM/PM Podcast and keep Manny Coats' classic “How cool is that? Pretty cool, I think.” spirit alive. Amazon reviews might be acting weird again, and it could be more than just the usual “dog page” error some shoppers have seen for months. In this week's first story, Bradley shares a new test showing up on certain customer accounts where you can only view 10 reviews and then have to “apply” to see more, with Amazon promising an email response within five business days. If this expands, it could push more shoppers toward Rufus-style review summaries rather than reading reviews directly, and it could significantly impact how sellers and tools analyze review data. Especially after Amazon's crackdown that removed Helium 10's Review Insights. The good news: the Helium 10 team is working on a new, fully “Amazon-compliant” version that still provides high-quality review insights, and Bradley asks viewers to share in the comments if they're seeing the same review limits and whether they think it could roll out more widely.

We're live and poolside at the close of eTail Palm Springs. This year's conference brought less theory and more proof, from agentic platforms doing actual operational work to the quiet rise of go-to-market tooling among merchants. One thing is clear: AI stopped talking and started shipping. Brian and Phillip break down the sessions, hallway conversations, and briefings that mattered most, and dive into their marathon week of discussions with companies including CommerceIQ, Attentive, Resolve AI, Decile, Modem, and more. The Year AI Stopped Talking and Started Working Key takeaways: Agentic AI is operational now. Platforms like CommerceIQ are replacing FTE-style workflows, running around the clock, and proactively surfacing insights. Context is everything… and most native AI tools don't have it. In-tool AI using synthetic or siloed data is producing unreliable outputs. The winning stack integrates across all data sources. CRM is mainstream; go-to-market tooling is emerging. Merchants are now using tools like Clay, a tool built for B2B sales prospecting, to find creators, influencers, and strategic partners. Clienteling looks different when repurchase cycles are a decade long. Brands like Ernesta (custom rugs) and GHD (hairstyling tools) are rethinking loyalty and relationship-building without the luxury of frequent transactions. "Consolidation is power." Whoever consolidates information, tasks, and systems the best will hold the advantage, both in business and in AI. Quotes: [00:20:15] "The marketing agent is looking for a segmentation issue... high CAC and low LTV. Those are things that, as an organization, you'd have to surface, invest in, create segments, create a dashboard — and then bother to look at." — Phillip [00:37:38] "The job of the RFP responder is the same as the code developer. They become a shepherd and a reviewer rather than a writer." — Brian  [00:48:03] "What do we lose when we eliminate the mundane?" — Brian  [00:51:09] "In the next six months, AI is going to own entire workflows without any human intervention." — George Davis, CMO of Cozy Earth (as quoted by Phillip) In-Show Mentions: Listen to Kristin Flor Perret's episode on Future Commerce Get on the list for our ShopTalk Spring After Party Associated Links: Check out Future Commerce on YouTube Check out Future Commerce Plus for exclusive content and save on merch and print Subscribe to Insiders and The Senses to read more about what we are witnessing in the commerce world Listen to our other episodes of Future Commerce Have any questions or comments about the show?

Trump's latest State of the Union was packed with headlines. Most people heard the headlines and moved on. But operators paid attention.Buried inside Trump's latest State of the Union were policy shifts that could directly impact your costs, pricing, margins, and platform fees.If you import products, rely on Amazon, Shopify, or SaaS tools, or operate on tight margins, this matters.In this episode of the High Voltage Business Builders Podcast, Neil breaks down what the latest tariff changes, inflation signals, and AI infrastructure policies actually mean for ecommerce operators and how to translate headlines into decisions instead of reacting to them.
